Seven Moons of Maali Almeida, The: WINNER OF THE 2022

Description: Product descriptionReviewWhat the judges particularly admired and enjoyed in The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida was the ambition of its scope, and the hilarious audacity of its narrative techniques. -- The 2022 Booker PrizeThe South Asian epic we have been waiting for for a decade. Riotous, funny and heartbreaking. It stays with you long after you have finished reading it. -- Mohammed HanifThe wild horses of Shehan Karunatilaka's imagination run fast, wild and true. -- Jeet ThayilSri Lankan writer Shehan Karunatilaka returns with a crackling whodunit a decade after his debut. -- The Indian ExpressKarunatilaka's tone is almost in the vein of his literary hero, Kurt Vonnegut, combining the funny and the dreadful in a bleak, black way. -- OpenImpressive . . . a tighter expression of his distinctive prose and an even more glaring mirror of Sri Lanka. -- The HinduA big, brash beast of a novel, epic in scale and inventiveness. Shifting back and forth in tone from riotous to devastating, it is simultaneously a thrilling murder mystery, a razor-sharp indictment of Sri Lankan politics and society, and most intuitively, a morbidly funny yet perceptive rumination on mortality and what comes after death. -- Scroll
